[Wiggy Fuzz]

so, winter is coming again, and for the past two years i've always had a solution to both keeping my head warm and some nice music in my ears from headphones. last year it was the woolly hat first, headphone on top. but that muffled the sound a little, and i didn't like it much (even though my head stayed warm)

so last year i tried a sombrero, with two little holes cut out for the grado "lightening rods" to stick through. it worked, but the wind kept taking it, and because the sombrero was from a joke shop it didn't last the winter.

this year, it was grado beneath a hoody, but not only did it muffle the sound (though not as much as the woolly hat), the wind again kept blowing my hood off. i have a nice fedora, but i can't bear to poke holes into it. and wearing it below my headphones won't work. maybe a flat cap or something - as long as it keeps my head warm, and doesn't interfere with the sound.

this is vexing, maybe i should move to australia, and not have to worry about snow. or cold. any ideas?

Jecklin Floats should cover your head pretty well.

 

[Wiggy Fuzz]

those? i wanted to keep my headphones, plus, they aren't really portable.

Well, what ever you do, be certain to get a quality sombrero this time!

 

[t3hggnore]

lol, a quality sombrero with holes would work. And then you could stick silly putty on the lightning rods so they keep the sombrero from getting blown away

if you wore a sombrero in the name of audio last year, then the Jecklin Floats are the way to go.

You, sir, just won this thread.

On a more serious note, you should definitely consider IEMs. You can wear any sort of head covering you like. As IEMs completely seal your ears, nothing you wear will muffle the sound.

EDIT: By the way, did you want suggestions on hats or on headphones?

Stay inside.

What about a beanie or something similar? Just don't let it go over your ears.

I'd love to see a pic with the sombrero/grado combo.

It was the idea of the century and we were already beat to the punch:

A Sombrer-Grado something...That would be a strong look, I am willing to bet.

That dude looks so pleased with that I am tempted...

This is why I use iem's

KSC 75? If they break, Koss will fix them for life.

Or any other clipons. Just put something over them.

1st to actually help the OP.
